One said that there had been a crash while others claimed the man had fallen while walking across the pedestrian crossing.

Police have yet to release any official information to clear up the confusion.

One holiday-maker said: “Emergency services are on the scene near the pedestrian crossing. People should avoid the area as traffic is slow and people are turning around. There seemed to be a person laying in the road.”

Another local woman added: “We were caught in long tailbacks about an hour ago. We just assumed it was bank holiday traffic but it must have been this.”
